Dog Food - Beef Lentil Casserole

 

Our dogs LOVE homemade food....they sit at the stove waiting to eat it !! 

The egg shells are a good source of calcium for the dogs.

The dried mint flakes help with bad breath.

Cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory properties.

Dogs can eat Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Kidney Beans, Lentils and Garbanzo Beans.

1/8 cup dried mint flakes (I use these  Mint Leaves)

In a dutch oven or large pot, brown the ground meat on the stove over medium heat.
